A Web music store offers two versions of a popular song. The size of the standard version is 2.7 megabytes (MB).
The size of the high-quality version is 4.5 MB. Yesterday, there were 800 downloads of the song, for a total download size
of 2700 MB. How many downloads of the high-quality version were there?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let x = # of 2.7 MB,
    y = # of 4.5 MB.

Then

   x +    y =  800,    1)
2.7x + 4.5y = 2700.   (2)

Solve this system, and you will get the answer.

You can use the substitution method.
